Hot, hot, hot

Is it hot in here or is it just me? 


So I am in Wolfville, and for those of you that do not know where it is, you're not the only one, but if it helps it is in Nova Scotia, which in turn is in Canada. CANADA! Yep, I made it. I will go exploring soon enough to know my surroundings, but for now I'm still trying to keep up with my classes, because everyone seems to have something that tells them what to do prior to the class and I'm finally getting it. 

So the trip was pretty dramatic, from my mum feeling really lonely, to a few cars threatening to break down, one actually broke down in front of me, how dare he, I mean it... how dare it? To not sleeping in New Jersey... at all, just talking all night, getting to know each other, to experiencing the first flood of cold smashing against our faces, to flying over Canada and seeing all the snow covering the lands, to being stuck on the plane for 45 mins waiting for the airport to clear the way for us to station, to having terrible cramps, to being stuck at Immigration because of not having any letter of acceptance from our prospective universities, to not seeing our ride to Acadia, to finally getting there and not having our ID properly activated, to fighting against the snow and to going into my class that night and the door was locked, to finally entering the class and fighting sleep, to reaching into my room and finally sleeping. 

Now I am learning to adapt to the cold, it's not that bad yet. I was told that it gets worse as time goes by. All I am looking forward to doing some skiing, building a snowman, making snow angels, and enjoying my classes. French seems okay, the majority already speak it fluently, so I'm totally having fun! Cell biology seems like it will be a lot of work, and so does History of Medicine (it is, after all, history... :S ). I'm  headed into latin in a bit so I will let you know how that goes, but I heard that the professor is extremely boring but I will see for myself. My dorm room is a single bed, and I met my RA last night, her name is Nancy, I had to repeat it over and over again in order to remember. She's Chinese, and lives two doors away. The bathroom is facing my room, so it's pretty awesome. 

I thank God for this opportunity and I am EXTREMELY  grateful to be here, despite the cold and other minor issues that I  have encountered. I will not, and I repeat, I will not let anything nor anyone stop me from enjoying my stay here at Acadia. So for those of you struggling with the cold like me, suck it up. And for those of you who are wondering when the cafeteria will serve food worthy of being eaten, again suck it up. 

This, my friends, is gonna be good.

AMINA! I just read your blog and I'm like WOW! You had to put up a fight. How was Latin by the way... or do you talk more about it in your other blogs? I want to keep reading your blogs, especially if they are as good as this one... But you've encouraged me to prayerfully and courageously (and honorably) battle through whatever I face.
I was just about to say I miss you guys, but I didn't because it was gonna make me sad... So I'm not going there. But pray that I adjust... This is my first time in a while having a roommate who is a total stranger. And I have to use a public shower. lol. Ok you may be like, "Delia suck it up." And I will.... soon.... now..... lol. :)
